What they lack in size and strength, Tatterdrakes make up for in aggression and ferocity. Any perceived threat is seen as a challenge and met with complete hostility; fights for territory are so commonplace that many older Tatterdrakes possess wings so ripped from fighting that they can no longer fly. Tatterdrakes are exclusively solitary except when they are seeking mates, for which they also clash.

Though it may appear at first that dragons and drakes have much in common, the two are completely separate species. Drakes are smaller and less intelligent than their cousin species, though both dragons and drakes sit comfortably near the top of the food chain. They are always found bearing antlers and leathery wings. Drakes share many of the same habitats that dragons do, and typically hunt in packs.

Tonocha is rather brash and impetuous when making decisions. His ever-present aggression makes him incredibly likely to snap at small noises that he perceives as indicating a threat to his territory. He likes to think that he's smart enough to sneak attack any dragons who are encroaching in his living space, so he'll often lash out randomly and suddenly at wherever he thinks an enemy is hiding. This typically tends to result in snapped tree branches or terrified birds more often than actual challengers being driven off. Tonocha still considers these situations a success because he thinks it proves how scary he is and that he should not be trifled with.
